**What it does not test.** This does not establish which suppliers or companies will receive contracts funded by the loan.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. EU loan agreed; suppliers/tech not yet chosen, so no pillar shift yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
